Beer bottles gets rinsed off after they are filled and capped at Stone Brewing Co. When bartenders pull the taps at the Stone Brewing Co. in Escondido, patrons get glasses of frothy beer that are not only tasty but represent the end of a long string of water use that trails all the way to hops farms in the Pacific Northwest and barley growers in North Dakota. Stone Brewing is conscious of their water consumption and takes steps to recycle and reuse as much water as possible throughout the process.
